The novelty is those that increase optimism, ahead of the trip to London. For the match against Genoa, Carlo Ancelotti recovers: Lorenzo Insigne, David Ospina, Vlad Chiriches and Faouzi Ghoulam. Above all, the latter will be the owner and therefore his physical condition, which should be decidedly brighter after the two intense weeks of work in the Antwerp clinic, can be properly evaluated to strengthen the leg muscles and find the explosiveness that the Algerian left-handed showed before the double knee injury that for over a year has weakened the performance. On the one hand, the technician needs to get Mario Rui back, but of course Ancelotti is curious to assess the autonomy of the African left-back in view of the match against Arsenal. We recall that in December, when Ghoulam had just returned, the coach in the second half of the decisive Champions match, at Anfield against Liverpool, threw him into the field. Because the deadly left wing of the Algerian can be decisive even from a free kick.

MAYBE LORENZO - More likely, instead, Insigne does not start the race and enters the second half. His condition is good, but the last injury to the adductors (with relapse) requires caution, so it is better to maybe test Lorenzinho for a while and then recover him for London for another four days. Great desire to return even for Ospina, which Arsenal is a former (indeed not really, given that its card is from the Gunners), while the availability of Chiriches gives Ancelotti more serenity on the depth of the rose in defense, in the double challenge with the English.
